APPLICATIONS
Player Cap: 29/70
| Before you submit your application, please review the Applications and Reserves section of the info / faq page, as there are additional rules regarding malleable protagonists, CRAU characters, fandom OCs, canon caps, player caps, and other important things to note. Applications will be processed in the order they are received and after the application cycle closes. We will only accept as many players as we have player slots, however, we will review all applications submitted during the cycle. Application cycles are not first come first serve, and instead will be judged on clarity of the app and samples. Application revisions will have three days to submit adjustments. If not submitted in time, they will have to wait until the next application cycle to resubmit. Application rejections will have to wait until the next application cycle to resubmit unless otherwise specified in the original rejection. You may either post your application in a comment to this post, or link to it from your character journal. Please use the following format for your comment in the subject line: CHARACTER | CANON | RESERVED / NOT RESERVED There is a limit of 2 characters initially maximum that can be played. (You can redeem additional character slots by way of the rewards page.) As with reservations, you may apply for 2 characters at a time. Proxy applications are not accepted. We do not accept application challenges. We do not accept duplicate characters. We only accept applications for 1 malleable protagonist in a cast. Malleable protagonists may not have preexisting relationships with other characters from their canon aside from base storyline. (Exceptions will potentially be made for CRAUs and handled on a case-by-case basis.) Fandom OC characters are accepted, but may not have preexisting relationships with other characters from their canon. (Exceptions will potentially be made for CRAUs and handled on a case-by-case basis.) CRAU characters are accepted, however, must not be so removed from their original canon state that they are unrecognisable. CRAU characters who carry a multitude of prior games may only carry over memories, relationships, and experiences from their most recent game. |
APPLICATION FORM
| Player: Contact: Age: Current Characters: If applicable. Character Name: Character Canon: If applicable. Canon Point: Age: Crime: All characters are accused of a crime upon their arrival, and it's printed on their indestructible parchment. This crime can be fitting of your character or ill-fitting. It can be a crime they've committed or a crime they would never commit. Consider that Expiation's definition of crimes may not mirror reflect what we think of when we consider crime in the real world. Feel free to think a little out of the box and more abstract. Fiction versus reality here doesn't so much make a difference. Please choose one crime, bearing in mind that there may be occasions in which the crime chosen could affect how a character interacts with certain events or situations. Background: You may provide a link to a wiki, for canon characters. If your wiki has limited information, or your character may not have much canon behind them, you are expected to write supplemental details without leaning too heavily into headcanon. For OCs, you don't need to provide an overly verbose background, just enough to give an accurate portrayal of the world they come from and definitive experiences that are important to their character. For CRAUS, please specify additional information about what they are carrying over from their prior game. This can also be limited to definitive experiences and relationships. Personality: Although this game heavily relies on the analysis and reflection of a character, we don't expect a dissertation. Please provide information on your character's motivations, how their relationships and experiences have affected or shaped them, and other related information. You may use character dialogue to further showcase this, but it's not expected. If you find it easier to use bullet point formats, feel free to do that. Please do not exceed 800 words. Abilities: If your character has any special abilities (magic, weapon skills, and so on), please list them here. Remember that world-breaking abilities will be diluted. Inventory: A list of inventory that your character is carrying on them can be put here. Characters will not have access to an infinite hammer space, so please only list things that would make sense for your character to be physically carrying. Samples: Two recent samples from the last year are required and must adequately convey a character's voice. In a thread, we prefer at least five comments from you. At least one sample must be from the current TDM post. Other threads may be taken from bakerstreet, other games, or other memes. During application review, not only will we be judging for characterization, but also longevity and completion of threads. Not all threads have to be finished before being submitted, but the mod team would like to see an effort in furthering the thread if it's not completed. Questions: If you have any questions for the mod team, please include them here and we will address them during the processing of your application. |
Elizabeth | Persona Arena Ultimax | Reserved
Contact: https://www.plurk.com/YuiichiKayama
Age: I’m on the wrong side of 40
Current Characters: None
Character Name: Elizabeth: The Blue of Jubilant Justice! Velvet Blue!
Character Canon: Persona 4 Ultimax (Has been through P3FES and P3P, yes I know they’re from different timelines, but time is weird in the Velvet Room, as well as the Q and Q2, once again time shenanigans)
Canon Point: After the end of the game
Age: Time is an Illusion, Lunchtime doubly so. She looks to be in her late teens to early 20’s, but time doesn’t exactly flow in the velvet room. Even if she left several years ago.
Crime: Dereliction of duty. She left the velvet room and her position without permission to persue her goal of saving the boy in the Great Seal
Background: https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Elizabeth
Personality: Elizabeth is playful, bubbly, cheerful, impulsive, and highly murderous. She has also seen some shit. Time doesn’t exactly go the same in the velvet room, the hero seems to space out when interacting with it, but it is implied that they see all the various timelines in the room, including the ones where the protag has failed. So just given what I’ve seen that for every success there are dozens of fatalities. Still her job was to support her protagonist, and she did, cheerfully. The thing is, when it ended badly, and then, his wild card moved to another trial that only SORT of solved the issue, she decided she had to take things into her own hands.
She means well, just having grown up in the Velvet Room setting, she doesn’t quite get things in the way a normal human would. She likes problems to be wrapped up quickly and doesn’t care if it is messy. If murder is an option, generally, it will be considered. She just doesn’t want to do things that would have upset her guests, whom she still cares deeply for, and as such she spends more time observing and trying to understand as opposed to just dealing with the issue at hand. That being said, she does tend to lead with strength, which is why she bullies her brother and is a bit afraid of her older sister whom she can not beat in a fight. Also why she refuses to challenge Igor and leaves in the night so to speak, as she simply can not compete with the power of his nose.
Elizabeth is very curious, especially after her own wild card awakening. She was incredibly interested in seeing if a wild card with bonds, or one without was more effective. In the end she decided the one with bonds was more effective. It also caused her to want to see what was going on with many persona users coming to one place, and ultimately to gate crash the General Kuma issue. It was a new thing to experience, and while most of her impulses tend towards combat (either her own or others) it peaked her curiosity. She also gave many quests to collect things to sate her curiosity, be it simple documents, or to see how a persona was created. Also, she went out on many “dates” with her guest, to see their world and understand the universe through their eyes.
She is also stubborn. She saw multiple ordeals, she witnessed what was involved, and decided that she had to tie up the loose ends to protect what was important to her, not to just leave it in the hands of some other fool. She gave up her beloved family, and the safety of existing in the Velvet Room to go into the conscious world and duke it out with a Titan because it wouldn’t stay dealt with. Because she wanted it gone she endured till she realized how to draw upon her own wild card, and while the story panned away from her then, she didn’t return home, but moved forward to test out how to best use it.
Abilities: Persona use – Currently she only has Thanatos, but being a wild card, she has the ability to use others.
Persona summoning – In Persona Q it is shown that she can forge persona by combining others, though she finds doing so tedious
Medical training – In Persona Q as well as in Arena, she is shown as having healing abilities
Identification through smell – She has an excellent sense of smell and can identify the ingredients of food with it
Can eat more than a 6 ton trash compactor – She has the ability to pretty much eat all she wants. In one date she took the protagonist to every restaurant in one area and didn’t seem to be slowing down, even when they had to after their 7th or so meal.
Kinetic powers that can form a chair to sit on out of thin air. Really, all it does is give her some place to sit, it can’t get in people’s way or anything, it just is the ability to sit floating in the air.
Inventory: Persona Compendium – This has a list of all of her guest’s persona
Tarot Deck – This is a simple Velvet Room issue Tarot deck
Velvet Room Uniform – She’s been wearing it since she left, but it is still with her
Persona Thanatos - https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Thanatos#Reload Note: Instakills are going to be only aimed at gribblies, not bosses and PCs as that is frankly kinda broke

Re: REVISIONS REQUESTED
Elizabeth is bubbly and cheerful simply in opposition to the ordeal given to her and her guest. Her guest is challenging the ordeal of death, one that really there is no good end to. Still rather than react with the gravitas of it, she asks her guest on dates, runs around attempting to bribe fountain spirits for wishes that she never bothers to think of what the actual wish is, asks nonsensical questions of her guest's classmates, loudly plays the piano badly, and charges up a down escalator. On the ordeal of Erebus, she doesn't have much to do, and could simply have waited it out, but she spends her time cheering on Aigis. In the School Festival pocket universe, rather than getting upset at the disappearance of Igor, she takes the opportunity as a chance to wear a pink dress and play at being a nurse while forcing her brother to craft things for the party.
If it is a decision that is not about the Velvet Room, her guest, or her own place in the universe, Elizabeth moves forward with the gusto of someone who has a tuba playing the trumpet charge in the background. Her offering of 1,000,000 yen to the fountain spirit to get a wish that she didn't bother to think of what she'd want to wish for. Seeing a club and instantly deciding to start dancing. Being trapped in an pocket universe and rather than thinking of a plan to get out deciding she wanted to wear something new and be a healer or quest giver. Seeing a gathering of persona users under the guise of a tournament to find the most "manly of men" and going not, what created this place, or why is it here, but going "I CAN BE THE MOST MANLY OF MEN!" Even deciding to pull SEES out of time for an all night dance contest on a whim.
As for murder, Elizabeth has grown up in the sea of the soul, fed on the games that the powers of the universe play so she doesn't exactly understand how not to be murderous. She has to have it explained that the police want their targets for the wanted list alive. Frequently the quests she sends her guest out for involve body parts. A gathering of persona users under mysterious situations, obviously a chance to fight her heart out. Even her trying to understand her own self required challenging her guest to a fight where she used her Pixie to 9999 them in a 3 digit health universe if they didn't play by her exact rules. Even after she left the Velvet Room to try to save the soul of her guest, she resigned herself to having to murder Erebus every year or so till she understood humanity enough to make them stop feeding the titan.
